OUR SPACE

Our new location offers greater accessibility and visibility in the heart of downtown Kalamazoo, allowing us to expand cultural programming, evening events, and weekend entertainment for the community.

Honoring the legacy of BACC, we are creating a vibrant hub for artists and creatives, featuring:

  • 1,000 sq. ft. of creative space in the Gail Sydnor Gallery for large-scale painting, writing, design, music, photography, and more.

  • A flexible venue available for private reservations, including rehearsals, meetings, dance practice, and special events.

  • A new membership model that offers greater value and impact, including after-hours access, discounted space reservations, and specialized workshops for artists and nonprofit leaders centered on equity and inclusion in the arts.

  • Visit the West Café for coworking, an internet café, and free coffee—creating a welcoming space for collaboration and creativity.

Together, we can cultivate a thriving creative community—where art, culture, and collaboration come to life.
